Illusion of Safety Elgin, Illinois
Since 1983, Burke and his many conspirators under the IOS banner have over the course of 40+ releases traversed most every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, creating uneasy music that is dense and dystopian and yet also beautiful. ... more

Everything is Fine Until it Isn't
by Snek Trio
razed abandon is what i love about this project, no holds barred all out frontal delivery of the feelings at hand, no filter, real freedom of expression. blistering and detailed

Radio & My Voice
by Hali Palombo
like a trip to another world somewhat opaque in nature, like a cloud surrounding your field of sound and vision, clarity is almost attainable and you float in obtuse syrupy gel

Powers & Principalities
by homogenized terrestrials
fascinating blend of who the fuck knows what! and i mean that in the best possible way. reminds a bit of one of my favorites The Hafler Trio, unknown sounds put together in a concise narrative

Surrender
by Illusion of Safety
supported by 19 fans who also own “New Rules, Same Game, Less Instruction”
I wasn't quite sure what kind of sound this album would be as the project name sounds quite like a Noise project but while it's not particularly harsh music, this is a great unique album. It's quite hard to describe Illusion of Safety's sound on here but I would say it's a mixture of psychedelic electronics, environmental sound matter, plunderphonics elements as well as some noises at times. It's very spacy imaginative music that is very immersive and unexpected.

ORGAN CHOIR DRONE
by Illusion of Safety
supported by 19 fans who also own “New Rules, Same Game, Less Instruction”
Illusion of Safety's "Organ Choir Drone" is a good release. I found it enjoyable, not too abrasive or anything, classic industrial music for the lack of a better term, or maybe just electronic music is better suited as it lacks the weight carried by the term 'industrial.' Hard to tell, and I don't feel competent enough to be coming up with genre names. It's a slightly distressing, anxious album with plenty of quiet, interesting synth layers. The final track sounds a bit odd to my ears.

Toise Make Noys
by Uncle Woozee
This wild experimental artist from Chicago uses electric kazoos, tape loops, and more to craft far-out, wonderfully confounding songs.
